I first want to say, the clinical staff at Evolutions are great, they are compassionate, empathetic…read moreand genuinely care about there clients. From the Therapists, to the Nurses and Pysch, they take a heartfelt interest in their clients wellbeing. As for the rest of the staff, there is a lot left to be desired. Aside from a few shining stars the majority of the administrative and tech staff behave as if they don't want to be there and its just a paycheck to them, to outright treating the Clients like inmates, cussing at them, threating them ("if you don't like it, pack your shit and get out") ignoring them by not following up on requests and grievances to total and utter disrespect. I've heard it said "you don't pay for this your insurance company does". I for one take great exception to that as I worked for over 45 years and paid into the system to be able to take advantage of programs I paid for (How dare they say that). Also, when asking a question I was often told "that's not my department or its above my pay grade)??? I would then asked to whom do I need to speak with to get my answer, their response was mostly "I don't know" How do you work somewhere that you don't know? The buck gets passed so much you can't recognize the bill any longer. Which brings me to ownership, The Husband and wife team of Mr. and Mrs. Gedale Fenster, a self proclaimed, "successful podcaster" and "motivational speaker" expounding his wisdom as if he were the next Ghandi, throwing out concepts that have been around for hundreds If not thousands of years. I for one found the man to be boastful, arrogant and disingenuous. They don't have any compassion or empathy for their clients, their entrepreneurial opportunity in this business is their primary reason for entering into this field. Complaints of living conditions go unaddressed, from inoperable washers and dryers to basic maintenance items. They hire drug addicts, exconvicts and alcoholics whom have little to no management experience, other than they were clients, in a field where that should be a priority. They allow clients to "Audition" for jobs instead of going to group to work on themselves or maybe its their way of getting cheap labor. They think by putting "Lipstick on a pig", by purchasing new furniture and putting a fresh coat of paint on it will solve a lot of the issues, think again. Just last weekend one of the units on the second floor of the IOP residence water lines broke and flooded that unit. When the client staying in that unit offered to go buy the necessary parts to fix it and have one of the clients whom are auditioning for a job, fix it the client was told no because the director of facilities said "I'm not going to allow a client to fix a repair, it will be taken care of Monday, and to have the Clients living in that unit put a bucket under it and dump the bucket when it was full, well you can imagine what happened, the downstairs unit got flooded and did a lot more damage than was necessary, if the director would have just let the Clients fix it. That's what you get when you hire incompetentence to run your facilities. Then there's the human care aspect of this, or the lack thereof. They treat clients as insurance payments. I was directly affected by this. I was told this past week that unbeknownst to me I was automatically enrolled in Medicare as I turn 65 on November 11th and Medicare trumps my current insurance "Florida Blue" and was unceremoniously discharged, with no resolution from Evolutions other than "No Dice" you have till Thursday latest Friday to pack up and get out. An unconscionable way to run a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment center. Also, when I was leaving yesterday, I had to leave my bags there for a period until I got settled into a hotel, when I retrieved my bags one of the bags was missing that had all my toiletries and medication in it, after I informed a tech he went room to room looking for it, then my bag suddenly appeared, however, when I got to my destination and opened the bag one of my medications , and some of my toiletries were missing. After calling back to the IOP residence and informing them that some of my things were missing, they did nothing about it. They market themselves as "South Florida's Premier Treatment Center", it's nowhere near that, it's a run of the mill treatment center. I would like to caution anyone, if you are contemplating Mental Health or Substance Abuse Treatment, to do your due diligence and find a more suitable Treatment Center. I would not even rate this with a star, that would be saying they have a glimmer of hope. They also have a sober living facility in Fort Lauderdale where they let former male and female clients live together in the same apartment as couples all the while discouraging coupling, and whom also happen to work for Evolutions in supposedly high ranking decision making positions. Ownership holds no one accountable. What do you expect.

The place is full of bedbugs. I spent 24 hours there and left once I woke up to being eaten alive,…read moremind you I wasn't medicated at all either and the food is below the level of jail food. These are the facts, I wouldn't send my worst enemy here.. oh and if you ask to be removed from their follow up/alimni list they'll tell you "we can't do that".. the audacity of these people it's just a people farm and all they care about is getting your insurance $$$. Lastly when I left after 24 hours they held my valuables hostage, phone, wallet, electronics etc. I had to come back a few days later to retrieve it. Mind you if I was a young girl in Miami Gardens walking around with no way to call for help what an awful situation to put someone in, and don't forget about the rash and bed bug bites all over my body. 0/5 wouldn't Recomended if it was the last rehab on earth.

If one is looking change their life for the better long term and if you're struggling on staying clean-do yourself the favor and get on medication assisted treatment. I've tried for over 17 years to stop using. Always refusing medication help, because of the ridiculous stigma surrounding it especially in the 12 step rooms. However, I'll never forget what the first counselor I met there told me at intake "do you know that statistically just doing the 12 step programs has a very low success rate for long term sobriety?" He then explained how my brain chemistry has changed due to prolonged use and that giving MAT a try my odds at long term success are higher. Well since the end of 2021, I can attest that it works-if you really want it. The staff in this clinic are professional, super smart, and always go above and beyond to help the patients. The MD is also very knowledgeable and easy to see whenever you need an appointment. This is a good place, not crowded, very discreet so I don't have to worry about running into someone from my job. Also, no long wait times. Thank you ATC!

I was debating if I wanted to leave a review or not and here we are. This will be an HONEST review…read moreand take it how you'd like. I am a former employee and I will say most of these reviews are paid by Google and some are staff members that were pressured by higher up to leave them so they have a high rating. That's the start. The center on a whole: When it comes to the clinical staff, they are amazing at what they do. The therapists, Amanda & Brandon are fairly new but they are good and professional, Michael is hands on and good at what he does, Barry is amazing, very caring and he loves what he does. Deana, who we referred to as MVP, is just that, Most Valuable Player. She is hands on, takes her job very seriously, she is overworked but shows up to handle things as Program Director & Primary Therapist daily. These 5 therapists makes treatment worth it. They care for patients as if they were one of their own family members. The medical team, Nurse Tricia, Dr Dolin and Seely are a powerhouse team. Your family members are not just another number to them. The group facilitators, Chris H, Jackson, Will G and Kailie, they are well loved by the patients. They get the job done. The physical therapist Eric and life coach Alex, are amazing as well. Nothing but positive feedback from patients. The tech staff are the backbone of the company, if weren't for them and their hardworking and dedication, this place could not run. Tee is a great Supervisor , his lead techs and tech staff go above and beyond and don't get enough credit for all that they do. So tell your family members or if you are the patient, be a little nicer...Ben Brafman!! He is Chief Clinical Director and your family member is in great hands. Ben has been in this business for a very long time, he is very knowledgeable. He's very caring, sympathetic and wants the very best for each client that walks thru the doors of Sylvia Brafman. He has helped change the lives and shape individuals to be the very best version of themselves. He is very hands on and very involved in treatment and recovery of each client. He goes above and beyond to make sure that things are ran smoothly and effectively. If I ever needed to go into treatment, I'd definitely would want to be at SB with this amazing team. Now my review as an employee: I was with the company 5 months shy of 2 yrs. I started out as HR/Front desk and ended as Case Manager. I was overworked, underpaid and belittled by the Co CEO Jaime on a regular. But because I loved my job and loved helping people, I stayed longer than I should have. Once I got promoted my pay rate stayed the same and never got changed but he kept adding more and more tasks to my job even if it didn't fall under my job title. But any non African American person that works for the company got compensated very well. He is impossible to work with and if you are not white, he will make you feel less than. Those who knew me, knows I went above and beyond for this job and knows the treatment I endured here. I have seen him break down an employee to where she was in tears and almost relapsed after being in recovery for 20 plus years. He loves to throw around "I'm the CEO" title and loves to throw "I sign your paycheck" around too. He is a very disgusting person and his mother should be ashamed of the person she created and raised.. So in other words, if you're looking to have your loved one or even yourself come for treatment, this is a wonderful place to be. If you are looking for employment and you are a minority, think twice, if you are Caucasian or even Jewish, you are safe here with Jaime. And I know he will come right behind this review and try to counteract as he does every negative one on here but please be aware that I have messages/emails that dates back 2022 and I have no issues making them go viral, especially the ones sent to Ms Ingram & Ms Robinson. Play with fire and you will get burned.
